It’s finally is coming on July 1st. The first webOS tablet ever, the HP Touchpad, is launching with a 9.7-inch XGA display, a 1.2GHz Qualcomm Snapdragon processor and NFC capability that between the slate and HP phones. Two versions of the TouchPad will be available to start with: a 16GB version for $499.99 or a 32GB version for an obviously more $599.99. HP also stated that a 3G model for AT&T will be available later this summer (always this summer, eh?), though pricing has not been announced for it. Pre-orders for the Wi-Fi only models begin June 19th. HP’s full press release is below.
It’s not as important as the
The good old (I meant new) PlayBook is on Sprint now for $499 and is the 16GB Wi-Fi version with the following specs: 7-inch 1024 x 600 WSVGA display, a 1GHz dual-core processor, support for 1080p HDMI-out, a 5-megapixel rear-facing camera, a 3-megapixel front-facing camera for video chat, 1GB of RAM, 802.11 b/g/n Wi-Fi, and Bluetooth 2.1+EDR support. If you’re into a 4G WiMAX PlayBook, Sprint promises to release one by summer. PR after the jump.
It’s an amazing game console. Fully capable of playing the latest Nintendo titles in full 1080p HD, the Wii U uses a controller with a 6.2-inch screen, two analog sticks, front-facing camera, full set of custom controllers for Wii U, and a full gamepad. The controller allows you to play Wii U on your TV, but can also be played on the Wii U controller. Some games can even use the controller”s screen to add more interactive elements to the game/overall, it’s perhaps the most amazing game console of the decade, right along the original innovation that the original Wii created when it was announced. The Wii U is planned to be releaed next year in 2012.
Publishers also are very keen on developing for Wii U, as the DIRT franchise, Electronic Arts (including EA Sports and Battlefield), Super Smash Bros., Assassin’s Creed, Tom Clancy’s: Ghost Recon, Tekken, and more will all come to Wii U in 2012. Press release after the invisible line.
